Antelope Audio products are used by professional sound engineers and musicians around the world. If you are looking for high quality at an affordable price, this brand was made for you.

Producing your own music has become the contemporary equivalent of composing poetry in earlier times. With today's technology, recording audio is as easy as picking up a pen and capturing your feelings on paper. However, unlike writing poetry, making music is mostly a collective affair. A simple two or four channel audio interface is no longer sufficient. That cool creative jamming with friends requires eight channels or so, packed in a portable device that is easy to bring and carry in a backpack and doesn't take up much space.

Maximum Mic/Line Channels
Antelope is showing off a bit again. After all, the Zen Tour Synergy Core is not just a portable Thunderbolt & USB audio interface, but also a pro piece that perfectly provides everything you need for a small band. It has 4 switchable Mic/Line and 4 more Hi-Z/Line inputs. Two reamp outputs and a Talkback button on the front panel put it in the spotlight in portable audio interfaces.

Lowest latency
The Zen Tour Synergy Core borrows powerful FPGA chips from Antelope Audio's best-selling studio pieces. This technology provides massive parallel processing power as well as the lowest latency on the market. Studio performance and unique mobility meet in the Zen Tour Synergy Core like no other device. It's no longer just a small mobile device for music beginners, but a full-fledged tool for the music business.

Realistic Vintage FX
The custom FPGA is a solid platform for creating multi-track mixes with zero latency and the ability to layer effects in exciting ways. Forget buying expensive plugins, Zen Tour Synergy Core offers something better. Antelope provides its own fancy hardware guitar amp&cab simulation, emulation of the classic Pultec EQ and the extremely versatile AuraVerb reverb. FPGA effects offer unmatched fidelity and sonic realism, comparable only to the sound and behavior of the original legendary hardware devices.

37 free studio-quality plug-ins
Zen Tour Synergy Core includes 37 high-performance plugins completely free of charge, such as. dynamic processors (Stay-Levin, Power Gate, Power Ex, POWERFFC, X903, VCA-160, FET-A76), equalizers (Clear Q, VEQ-HLF, VEQ-1A,VMEQ-5), microphone preamps (BA-31, GYRAF GYRATEC IX), guitar/bass and speaker simulations (SHRED GUITAR CABINET, SHRED GUITAR AMPS), AURAVERB digital reverb and many more.

Advanced controls
Zen Tour Synergy Core control is literally at your fingertips via the intuitive touchscreen display. The software control panel, compatible with Mac OS X and Windows, follows Antelope Audio's innovative networking concept. You can manage all Zen Tour Synergy Core parameters from multiple computers on the same network. And did we mention the iOS and Android apps that allow you to manage all functions from your smartphone or tablet?

Extended connectivity
While other portable interfaces have to make do with decent I/O or DSP effects, Zen Tour Synergy Core gives you both, and more than enough of them. Count us in - 4 Mic/Line inputs, 4 Hi-Z/Line inputs, 8 analog outputs, digital ADAT & S/PDIF, two independent headphone amps and two separate pairs of monitoring outputs. The FPGA is powered by Thunderbolt and a custom USB interface, making it not only very fast, but also compatible with any DAW.
